I'm good for both TFs this time...if you feel we need another 50 for the SSTF instead of Osprey, i'll always swap over top either my Scrapper or use my g/fs Tanker (lemme know if you want the Tanker as i'll need to respec it).

While not the most successful trial we've tried, it was still a blast none the least....don't think i've seen that many Rikti bosses in one spot, EVER!

Good luck on the SSTF run laters, lemme know how it went....and i'm sure i'll catch everyone for the next lot of TFs.

Seeing that we've slipped from the first page, thought i'd post to back us back on top (how else are people meant to find us )

But while i'm here, thought i'd test the water to see if anyones up for a SF next weekend, probably the 7th....not fussed on what SF or even TF we do....just put what you'd like to do and i'll try and set something up.

Im not gunna be able to make the SSTF tomorrow, but i'm still good for the Sewer trial....silly me forgot it's my cake day tomorrow and if I spend all day in front of a screen I can see the missus denying certain cake day rites

If you're desperately short on people tho, I'll always help start it up for ya then just log out leaving myself in the TF.

I'm not gunna be able to make it this Thursday, g/fs b-day and all that...she'd kill me if I blew her off for this But i'm good for pretty much any day next week....so just lemme know in advance and i'll free up time if i can.

Can count me in for both of this as well....done Sewer once, but never the SSTFs. Will sort out what toon i'll use nearer the time....would like to use Osprey though, should be lvl40 by then.

This has all been fantastic info and thoughts...narrowed it down to either Earth/Rad or Ill/Rad, I like the thought of having pets do most of the hard for me with Ill...leaving me to concentrate on the debuffs and stuff. But, i've always wanted a Earth troller....love seeing Earthquake in action and the pet always makes me giggle (although i heard its a bit Meh'), and i didn't just say giggle...i meant manly laugh.

I'll have to sit and think on it for a bit...the alts a little way down the playlist for now.

I'm looking to start another troller, i'm a bit of a newbie at these...only having a lvl22 Mind/Sonic, but i do have a lvl50 Fire/Fire dom.

I'm basicly looking for ideas and suggestions of what primary to choose to go with /Rad secondary....open to all suggestions as I like to think I have an adaptive play style (tends to change dependant on team/situations), But...I don't really wanna go down the Fire and Mind route again.

Solo'in is not essential, but its a bonus if it can atleast solo on Heroic while trying to find a team...main thing is, gotta be fun to play.

So then, whats your poison.

I called my PB Xenostar, taken mainly from the term Xenomorph....so could try combinations with that, i.e: Xenoflame, Xenofire, Xenopyre...you get the idea. That is of course if you're planning to make it a direct follow on from your lvl50.

Chalk up another successful Tf/Trial for V6 and friends, was a bumpy start...someone forgot to remind Knightly to drop the rep.

But after the restart it was all peachy, way to many ambrosias for the Titan who went down faster than the Titanic....great job all, look foward to the next conquest.

I'll try an be around to help you whoop a** once again...its not a definite yes, due to being away for a few days mid-week. But i'll do my best to be around.

Imperfect: Ice/Cold Corr with Hami'o'd leadership, Shivs and one of each Nuke (yes, he is built for RSFs )

I'm assuming that because those are the powers he has left to choose from, that he already has the three little psychos.

And from a controller viewpoint, at least, they NEVER lose their effectiveness. Dominators, I assume, will find them a little squishier than controllers do, due to the lack of buffing/healing secondary, but with the opposition locked down, such things will be less important.

I think.

Yeah, I already got my Imps and I love them...the choices listed are powers that i've got left to choose from. Also i find that the Imps tend to survive fairly well while solo'in....but tend to lose them in big teams, either by death or purely by not be able to see them over all the MM bots

I'm only a few blips away from lvl49 on my Fire/Fire/Mu and i'm trying to decide on what power to take, the choices are:
[u]Fire Control:[u][*]Ring of Fire[*]Smoke[*]Hot Feet[*]Bonfire

[u]Fiery Assault[u][*]Fire Blast[*]Combustion[*]Consume[*]Blazing Bolt

[u]Power Pools[u][*]Flurry and Superspeed[*]Hurdle[*]Jump Kick[*]Provoke[*]Ball Lightning

Pretty much ruling out anything from the power pools and don't really need Consume because of Power Sink.

The problem is i need something thats pretty decent straight out the box, as when i reach lvl50 2 of the 3 slots are already spoken for...so can only spare one.

What do you people suggest?

Ospreys lvl won't be a problem, when i typed that i hadn't checked the trial info...thought it was around the 40-45 mark (been a long time since i done it), but Osprey is lvl39 already and only a few blobs from lvl40...i'll try for lvl41 for epics, but if i don't...no big deal.

See ya Sunday mate.

I'll be happy to roll with you once again....but i can't make Saturday, but i'm free all day Sunday.

I'll try and get Osprey up a few lvls this week to take part...but failing that i got a lvl50 Scrapper to fall back on.

Just wanted to say Gratz to Paycheck for getting his Elec/Elec Blaster Tempy to 50...making this his first hero after a lifetime of villainy.

Well done mate...you grinded well

I'll be happy to join you motley lot again for another run....this time it'll be my TA/A Def: Red Osprey lvl39. But if you find we need more damage, i got another Scrapper that could be used, Hyperdrive lvl50 MA/Rgn.

I'll meet you at the contact at 14.00gmt and decide then what you prefer.

My g/f and I are thinking of starting a Brute/Corr duo, I have opted to play a /Thermal Corr and my g/f is to play the Brute...the problem is, she doesn't like suffering End issues (who does ) so i've suggested either /Elec or /Energy for Power Sink and Energy Drain. As stated, i'll being playing a /Thermal so she doesn't have to worry about picking up the Medi Pool and she'll probably only play in the Duo as shes has other toons she plays.

Thats the background story done, now for the question:

You as a Brute comunity, what would you rather have.../Thermal + /Elec that has really high Resistance through toggles and Fire Sheilds, or..../Thermal + /Nrg that has decent Defence+Resistance?

Also, any info on the /Elec sets would be nice, as i've played that set...but i've had a high lvl /Nrg, but been a while since i played one.

Location AoEs like Blizzard, Ice Storm and Sleet do take Accy but it isn't worth it, they do so many ticks of damage that you wouldn't notice misses...slot Blizzard and Ice Storm 3Dam and then if you get slots 3Rchrg, as for Sleet just slot it for 3Rchrg as its mainly use for a -Res patch with Knockdown...so you want that back for every mob.

If your going to take the holds, best to take Freeze Ray...its the same mag hold as Bitter Freeze Ray, but its quicker recharge and faster animation, BFR looks so damn cool, but it leaves you rooted for 4 secs...and if you play to PvP, that spells death. Also for survival purposes try to get freeze ray in as early as poss...can't count how many times that saved my life.

Rule of thumb for slotting holds are generally 2Acc, 2Hld, 2Rchrg...this'll bring freeze ray back in about 6secs.

Lastly...if you can bring Frostwork forward, do it...its an awesome buff, increases the targets health by about 40%...give that to a Brute and they're laughing, prehaps swap Glacier Shield for Frostwork, then bring Glacier shield forward to 41 and start the PPPs from 44...it'll require a rework of slots in the later part, but should be better...wish i had taken Frostwork sooner, and might use a respec just for that.

If you want a look at how the Location AoEs and DeBuffs work, i'll be happy to give you a run through the powers...looks like your in E.V.I.L (i'm guessing) and we're coalitioned with you (Darklords of the Underworld) so that'll make setting something up easier.

Good to see someone else testing the cold water...come on in, it's great

This was and still is my first lvl50 on CoV and i still find it a joy to play....my build below is what i've just respec'd into with RSFs and teaming so opted for Leadership instead of PPPs and from what i've used of it so far, it only suffers End problems when solo'in. I do very little PvP but from what i have done, it faired well.

I would've liked to have stuck 2Acc in all my blasts, but its such an End heavy set i just couldn't live without some Endrdx in the attacks and orignally I had Frostwork at lvl30 and Glacial Sheild at lvl44...and upon typing this, just realised 'Why didn't i keep it that way'

As Blue Note said, try to get Hasten into the build...yeah, it ruins and concept you might be using...but the DeBuffs are so good you wanna have them back asap.

I can't pass up this chance to say...BLIZZARD ROCKS! It is without a shadow of a doubt, the best nuke in the game....yeah, its drains all End, but to me thats its only downfall...it's not capped by targets, so if its within range it'll hit, it knocksdown, it slows and when teamed with Ice Storm, Sleet and Heatloss...you got a lot of defeated enemies.

Everyones gunna slot differently, but thats the beauty of this game....but you'll love the sets.

'Shameless plug time'- Check out my guide at the bottom for an overview of the powers

Yup...another solid run, good job Knightly...looking forward to more.

Right...i'll start making arrangments for a Posi TF then, i was thinking the weekend after the double xp weekend...so 23/24th of June if thats cool with people, we can do it easily with just us 4...saves trying to recruit for it, takes to long and people always end up leaving.

So i suggest we do it over the space of two days...start on the Saturday at some time and see how it fairs, if we get it all done thats great...but we can always finish off the day after.

Right...looks like we're on our way to a full team, so far we have:[*]Imperfect[*]Sylphie[*]Ohm Boy[*]@Brightstar[*]Inquistor Mal[*]Dark Rendition

Plus a few others that are intrested....i'll be at the contact around 6.30 and start forming up then.

I suggest a TF race around the world...or zones One team by land, the other by air....to my calculation, we can navigate the zones within 80 days.

Last one under the Atlas globe pays for the crumpets.

I'll probably start pulling a team together at around 6-6.30 with a look to start around 7, but if we get a full team before that we'll start asap...will have a chat to some people tomorrow and update the post then.

I'll be at the contact at 6pm GMT so feel free to turn up
